+=head1 NAME 
+
+    DBIx::Class::Serialize - hooks for Storable freeze/thaw (EXPERIMENTAL)
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    # in a table class definition
+    __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Serialize/);
+    
+    # meanwhile, in a nearby piece of code
+    my $obj = $schema->resultset('Foo')->find(12);
+    $cache->set($obj->ID, $obj); # if the cache uses Storable, this will work automatically
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This component adds hooks for Storable so that row objects can be serialized. It assumes that
+your row object class (C<result_class>) is the same as your table class, which is the normal
+situation. However, this code is not yet well tested, and so should be considered experimental.
